Villa Almarik is one of the best managed boutique resorts in Indonesia! The staff is very well trained, polite, kind and always willing to serve. The rooms are very large, clean and beautifully maintained. The grounds are well landscaped and impeccably clean including the beach. One can swim, or snorkel to see the many colourful fish, turtles and coral, right in front of the resort...steps away from one’s room. The bottom is not soft sand due to the dead coral, but one has no difficulty swimming past it. You can bike (2 hrs) around the island, walk if you are up to it, shop at the night market, visit the numerous bars and eateries, or just enjoy the beauty of Gili T. Villa Almarek is a quiet resort filled with special attention to detail and a vibrant caring staff. We chose to eat at the resort because the chef and his staff produced excellent meals. One of the many beautiful traditions is tea time at 4:00 with local delicacies provided. This location is also close to other islands to explore including Lombok! The view from the beach is beautiful as you can see Majestic Mount Rinjani when the clouds clear. Just an amazing place to stay, and they care equally for all guests! We booked directly with the Almarik and were very pleased with results! Thank you everyone for an incredible stay!
